Tallon approached the new couples, paying extra special attention to his new son-in-law.
"Lucien, I greet you as a son of mine. You now have possession of the palace I let Minna use, and as soon as the paperwork is filed, you will have outright ownership of it. Furthermore, as a wedding present, I present to you..." he pulled out a piece of parchement. "... a large parcel of land, tools, cash, and when the time comes right for it, I will hire out some laborers, provide the seeds, and anything else that you need to start a plantation. I'll let you do the actual building, though, as I know how important it is to begin your own legacy. Consider this Minna's Dowry. Also, since the future is unknown to us, I shall present you with the gifts whenever this is over. If you need anything, you shall always have a place at my side. Same thing goes for you, Minna. I may no longer be the most important male in your life, but I am still your father. I will not let you be harmed. Lucien, treat her well. She's yours now. Always cherish her, produce fine children with her, and never let her or your offspring come to harm. I know that you shall acquire other wives in time, but given her associations with me, I shall ask that you keep Minna in the highest regard among them."
"I shall do all that and more. Thank you, Tallon." Lucien replied.
